11Jan21: This once “for free” pattern is no longer available as the yarn is no longer carried by Churchmouse Yarns & Teas.

THE DESIGN
“A covey of cute caps.”
If you’re looking for a taste of zippy stripes, our free pattern features headgear for the whole family—from newborn to large grown-up! We’ve created colorways in sets of three, so you can make a fun bundle of hats that aren’t too matchy.

The Bundle of Stripey Hats are knit using one regular skein of Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok and one of the Woolstok Bundles. These little yarn clusters contain three mini hanks each of seven different colors of Woolstok (total of 21 mini hanks). Worsted-weight Woolstok is made from Peruvian Highland wool—so your caps will be lofty, soft, lightweight, and warm!
